its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
You think you've got me in your chains
Control me with your devious pain
You think your love is so divine
You pour it out like it was heaven-scented wine
You think your love is all I crave
Well I've got better things to do than be your slave
When you first asked me, I heard those violins
You quickly pulled the pin, you had no hesitation
There is a rose that bears your name
The bloom's short-lived, it's such a shame
You think your love is so divine
You think I'll drink it like it's heaven-scented wine
You think your love is all I crave
You say I'll worship you until I'm in my grave
So when love passed the ball, you play winner takes it all
Act like it's a carnival, some mad configuration
I'm like a two-way street, you live to lie and cheat
I'm voting with my feet, who needs this aggravation
I'm headed for the door, never see you anymore
I'll be on some distant shore, way out of circulation
No tears will pass my eye, no memory will make me cry
So long, adios, goodbye, I'm off your reservation
You think your love is so divine
Think you're the savior of mankind
You say your love is like love potion number nine
You say your love is all I crave, and I'm the dog that's had its day
So sad to rain on your parade
But I've got better things to do than be your slave
Control me with your devious pain
You think your love is so divine
You pour it out like it was heaven-scented wine
You think your love is all I crave
Well I've got better things to do than be your slave
When you first asked me, I heard those violins
You quickly pulled the pin, you had no hesitation
There is a rose that bears your name
The bloom's short-lived, it's such a shame
You think your love is so divine
You think I'll drink it like it's heaven-scented wine
You think your love is all I crave
You say I'll worship you until I'm in my grave
So when love passed the ball, you play winner takes it all
Act like it's a carnival, some mad configuration
I'm like a two-way street, you live to lie and cheat
I'm voting with my feet, who needs this aggravation
I'm headed for the door, never see you anymore
I'll be on some distant shore, way out of circulation
No tears will pass my eye, no memory will make me cry
So long, adios, goodbye, I'm off your reservation
You think your love is so divine
Think you're the savior of mankind
You say your love is like love potion number nine
You say your love is all I crave, and I'm the dog that's had its day
So sad to rain on your parade
But I've got better things to do than be your slave

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
the main guitar riff is similar to the one from "Paint it Black". It's the same actually but they've tweaked it enough to coax out another great classics. That's their greatness. And the lyrics, WOW, it's a relentless description of the main motif. I feel like they could continue coming up with new lyrics for this one, line after line for about a 10-minute track.
